We are going to begin to accept fan-submitted articles focusing on Avatar!  If you have a seemingly insane theory no one else thinks is true, this is the time and place to prove you don't deserve that uncomfortable sleevless white jacket your therapist gave you!  It could be as crazy as "Aang and Katara will fall in love" (where would get that crazy idea from?) to "Zuko will join Aang and help him defeat the Fire Lord".  Whatever you think you can now put into words and have it published for others to read!

You might be saying, "That's a lot of work, and that'll take forever!".  All you have to be able to do is tell what your theory is, and why you think that.  It can be as little as 100 words, or as many as 1,000, but we'd say the shorter the better, probably.

Another question you might be thinking about, "Does it have to be a theory?  Can't I just write about something on the show?".  Well, the answer there is YES!  You can write ANYTHING related to Avatar.  It doesn't have to be a theory.  If you want to comment on an episode and why you liked it or why you disliked it/could have been better, you can do that.  It's entirely up to you.

There will be a space for users to rate the article, and the authors with the highest-rated articles at the end of each month will receive a nice prize (to be determined by the staff) as well as your own PERSONAL space to write in the future (you can pick the title of the column and each time you submit a new article it will be featured on that page).

This is not a place for fanfiction.  That belongs in the Fan Creations section of our forum.  All stories should be submitted to the following email address with a proper title, as well as your name you wish to be credited as and if you'd like us to link out to your site/email: .

Unfortunately, I do have some news which may want to make you all fall over.  What is it, you say?  Well, I've been told I can't say much, but here's the skinny: The break between Seasons 2 and 3 will likely be longer this time than the break between one and two.  This isn't really official, but look for season 2 to end up in late November/early December, but season 3 likely won't begin airing until significantly longer than March of next year.  I thought I'd get this out in the open now so we're not disappointed down the road by waiting for the show to premiere when it's long away.  We'll classify this as "production delays."

One week following the giant debut of "Avatar: Secret of the Fire Nation," which nabbed 4.1 million viewers, the newest episode, "City of Walls and Secrets" scored 3.2 million.  The drop is nothing to be concerned of, considering how hyped up SotFN was, it was bound to score higher than any other episode.  This makes this the most-watched episode of Avatar (excluding SotFN) since the season premiere, which grabbed 3.7 million viewers on March 17th.  This news comes via USA Today.  Although no specific time is given, the number of viewers implies it was for the latest new episode, although that could be wrong.

In other ratings news, Media Life Magazine reports all three Avatar airings last week (9/18 - 9/24) scored in the top 25 of all cable.  Here is the link for that.  Just scroll down until you find "Top 25 Ad-supported Cable TV Programs".

As far as the site goes, updates will trickel in, so make sure to keep coming back for those.  Much will be done on Saturday, including Characters up thru 215.  This goes without saying, but be sure to tune in tomorrow for "Tales of Ba Sing Se" at 8 pm EDT/PDT.  Ratings info, if available, will be posted next week.  Have a good night and a great weekend!

Yes!  I know feel accomplished, because I have the character guide updated through The Fury of Aang movie.  I added 10 bios today to that guide.  Whew... well I'll get to work on Tuesday on the following characters: Ying, Than & Hope (and their other daughter - who's currently nameless), incompetent General Sung, the Terra Team, the Bureaucrat (Suki's boss at the ferry station), the mischevious Long Feng and the Dai Li, the creepy and always smiling Joo Dee, Pong, the nervous government employee, and Pao, and possibly some others (were there any others?).  Unfortunately, episode guides aren't done.  I'll work on them ASAP.  Wan Shin Tong will soon be added to the Psychedex, and we'll update the Bestiary.  More updates are definitely on their way!

I know we promised major updates today, but unfortunately that won't be happening, due to some unforseen events.  It's certainly nothing bad, I just got called into work today is all.  Well, in the mean time, you can check the left-side of the screen, because as you may notice, there's a new button under the "Voice Actors Index" titled "Air Guide."  Check this out.  It's a new weekly feature we decided to start in honor of Nick putting Avatar on daily ON TWO NETWORKS!

Anyway, I am truly sorry for the no-update today.  Tomorrow look for the ep. guides to be updated, new character guides, updated VA index, amd some more important updates as well!

Saturday will be a good day here at Dongbu Feng, as we will be getting character bios of all the characters to date in the guide, as well as updating the episode guide (check that page as it has been changed and it totally cool-looking right now) and providing some other updates as well.  Watch out, because we will have some fun stuff for you coming up, including:

• Currency Page - The First-ever exclusive look at the coinage and other currency in the Avatar world.  This has been fun to work on.
• Beefed up ep. guide pages - Including pics of the characters who appeared in each, as well as creature/spirit debuts, etc.
• Destinations Page - In s2 we've seen many different and new locations.  Here you'll get a nice look at such wonders as the swamp, the Si Wong desert, Wan Shi Tong's library, the Serpent's Pass, and much more!  You can then plan your vacations accordingly!
• Skin chooser! - We'll have four available skins created after the four nations for you to customize the site to the nation you like the most!
• Updated character pages - Including Allies/Adversaries, character stuff, and fanlisting updates.

So there is a look forward to.  All this will not be here all on Saturday, but rather coming in installments.  Also look for the character galleries to be gradually updated, as well as info on new Avatar games on Nick.com (anyone played "Trials of Serpent's Pass" or "Four Nations Tournaments"?  Both are very good games).
